Amazing job friends!! I wil download all FTF avaiable!

Did someone already try installing Xposed framework and some models? is it working well on our xperias?:confused:
Yup, I have it on as we speak, Xposed Framework v.2.6.1, installed without any problems or headaches.

I've got only 2 modules running:

- Serajr Xperia Xposed (KK) v.2.6 (link to thread here)
- Unsafe Volume Xposed Mod v.1.0

Both working beautifully, just like they should.

That depends on a lot of variables, buddy... Specially what you consider a "decent" amount of battery time (if you ask me, going a day without the need to find a charger is just what you should expect)

First things first, if you feel there's something draining your battery, go to "Config." -> "Gerenciamento de Energia" -> "Uso da bateria" and take a screenshot and post it here. It would be ideal to take that screenshot when the battery is about to die, or close to 5% of charge left, so we can see what has been draining it.

Xposed framework

I have installed Xposed as well as GEM Xperia Xposed and Xperia Xposed (KK).
Both are running flat!
The Xperia Xposed (KK) has everything I need to tune the original launcher. F-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c!!!

Hello guys!

To help others, I put all BR ROM files that we have so far in one place:

https://mega.co.nz/#F!tEAXCaYT!EMc_IRdk0m-mgTwefUqaAg

Just to have a second option to download these files. As soon the remain ones will be available I will upload them too.

This is the way I found to thank you the effort done so far by people here.

Regards,

Marcelo.
Thanks buddy, it's always good to have a second place to download it from, we never know what may happen.

I'll update the OP with the link.

You can find an explanation on Menu -> Legends (Legendas)

Yes, I have an unbranded BR Z2, and I used Apollo89's method for creating this FTF (found here)

If I could suggest something, I'd advice you to root your device and install [NUT]'s XZDualRecovery (the latest version uses the Easy Root Tool by zxz0O0 to install root and the custom recovery at the same time) and use one of the two recoveries available (I use TWRP) to create a Nandroid Backup, that is a full backup of your smartphone's system, data and so on - If, God forbids, something goes wrong you can just reinstall this recovery and restore that nandroid backup, and your device will be just as it was when you performed you backup (with all apps, data and so on as it was).
There's no link for the D6543 model in http://nut.xperia-files.com/. Which file did you use to install Dual Recovery?

By the way, mine is the VIVO branded, bought at R$ 800 at a VIVO physical store in Rio.

For the recovery, it doesn't matter which model you have, you can use either "Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.1xx-BETA.flashable.zip" (if you already have a recovery installed) or "Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.1xx-BETA.installer.zip" (if you don't have a recovery installed).

If you are not rooted (and, therefore, don't have a recovery), use "Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.1xx-BETA.installer.zip" option #3 to install root and the XZDualRecovery. If you are already rooted, but don't have a recovery yet, choose either option #1 or #2, depending on which superuser application you have installed (SuperUser or SuperSU).

The files with the model number (e.g. "D6502_17.1.1.A.0.402.flashable.zip.torrent", "D6503_17.1.1.A.0.402.flashable.zip.torrent", etc.) are for the full flashable update for each model (since there has been no update for the D6543 yet, [NUT] has not been able to do one for our model).

Thanks, should have read NUT's topic more thoroughly. Worked like a charm!

Awesome!

Tiu Fiu, you're the man!

In fact, all of you guys are awesome!

I'm already downloading the "D6503_17.1.1.A.0.402_UK+Generic+1282-0226_R2A" but first things first;

I've already rooted my "Claro" version and everything went really smooth afterwards (the process took me at least 15x tries, but then, everything worked fine). Xposed works flawlessly, tested 10+ modules and all worked, but then i screwed something up;

I've uninstalled something that rended "aprimoramentos de som" useless, gets light gray and can't select.

I'll try something now and let you guys know it it worked, (if someone answer this before i do it maybe will help me), i'll flash the "D6503_17.1.1.A.0.402_UK+Generic+1282-0226_R2A" over the "Claro" one without wipes, let's see if i'll have any problems.

And one more thing, which one is more recommended, UK or Germany? What about languages and etc.?

Again, thank you guys and keep up the good work!

I've been using the german .402 firmware since yesterday and it has been working flawlessly. The only downside, really, is the lack of DTV (restoring the apk with Titanium Backup does not work, the app force closes).

Flashing a FTF will replace everything on your /system partition, so it should solve that issue just fine. You will need to root it again, but that's no big issue with Easy Root Tool (if you have any antivirus app you should disable or uninstall it - Avast refused to allow me to root my Z2 until I uninstalled it)

If it doesn't work, you should try to check your Xposed log (on Xposed main menu, go for "Registro") and post it here, maybe there is something we can do (at least find out which module is messing things up)

And as for the DE or UK firmware, they are both great, and you don't need to worry about languages - pretty much every customization has every language available, including PT-BR.

Just to keep you guys posted;

I've flashed the .402 UK and worked flawlessly 'till now, but i needed to do a full wipe do get the "aprimoramentos de som" back, it was showing the app but it was 0,00kb, like before and now after full wipe everything is working besides the DTV;

After the full wipe i've came with an ideia do get the "aprimoramentos de som" back, but now is too late, in case you have the same problem as i and your device is rooted just completely uninstall the problematic app and flash the FTF without the "data" wipe, it will probably install the app again and everything else will be untouched and working perfectly like it was;

Let us know if any of you try this, and thank you everyone;

Custom Rom

Hi folks!
Just to confirm that my Brazilian Z2 is working flawlessly on Aur3.7 rom, which is a modified stock .438 rom with a huge series of improvements / mods. I've installed the D6503 version.
Of course the Digital TV isn't working. That's the burden of the actualization.
